Writing voice Mark Bezos

Humor
I had Mark Bezos and the lessons of a volunteer firefighter. The piece of writing voice that was very prominent in Marks speech was his use of humor. Mark added little tid bits of humor throughout the whole speech, this kept the audience engaged and listening to what he had to say. It also kept the speech from becoming very boring. One use of humor i really liked was when he grabbed his helmet and stood heroically and said "I know what you are thinking I am no hero" he said this after he explained how he saved shoes, creating a sense of irony.

Offer surprising information and observations
Another piece of writing voice that Mark does very well is the ability to deliver surprising information. Near the end of the speech Mark says "The act of kindness she noted above all others, someone even got her a pair of shoes." this is surprising because the whole speech leading up to that point he was explaining how unnoticed and unappreciated his act of getting the shoes was and how it did not compare to the real firefighters or saving the dog. Mark delivers this news in a very quite and calm way that makes it more impact to the listener. Usually speakers will try and be the excited during the part of the surprising news, but Marks simplicity some how made more of an impact which is really hard to pull off.

Deliver interesting information 
The last piece of writing craft that Mark makes use of is the delivery of interesting information and how he does it. for instance near the middle of the speech he says "he got to the captain first and was asked to save the dog, the dog" the repeat of the phrase "the dog" made it clear to the audience that this was a big deal and how much Mark was let down when he was not chosen to do it. Not only was what he said impact but how he said it. When he repeated the phrase "the dog" he also bent down a little bit and clenched his fist to emphasis what saving the dog meant to him.
